Which of the following shows a balanced chemical equation for cellular respiration?
|
|
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Solar Energy
|
|
|
3CO₂ + 3H₂O + Solar Energy
|
|
|
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
|
|
|
C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The equation for cellular respiration is the complete opposite of photosynthesis: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP where carbon dioxide is the waste product.
Detailed explanation-2: -The equation represent the process of aerobic respiration. The glucose is converted into pyruvic acid in the cytoplasm which is further sent to mitochondria for oxidation into carbon dioxide and water along with the production of energy. Was this answer helpful?
